Absolute Viscosity - The
tangential force on unit area of either of two parallel
planes at unit distance apart when the space between
the planes is filled with the fluid in question and
one of the planes moves with unit differential velocity
in its own plane. The C.G.S. unit for absolute (or dynamic)
viscosity is poise (dyne-sec./sq. cm.). Centipoise (0.01)
is often used.
